    Abstract
    Pyrite bearing barite concretions are abundant in black shales of the Early Cambrian Niutitang formation in China. Their occurrence is connected with low sedimentation rates. Sulphur and oxygen isotopic compositions of barite display highly enriched values, averaging in 68±5‰ and 20±1‰, respectively. Pyrite sulphur has an isotopic composition of ~10‰. The elevated isotopic compositions, no systematic difference in isotopic composition throughout the concretions, and presumably low sulphate concentrations during deposition indicate late diagenetic barite precipitation at an advanced stage of bacterial sulphate reduction. During concentric growth from concretion centre to margin different Ba+ and SO4 2- bearing fluids interacted at different times, which resulted in non uniformly spread d34S and d18O values throughout the concretions.
